BJP Worker Takes Photo Inside Gujarat Booth During Jasdan Assembly Bypoll, Circulates it on WhatsApp

Ahmedabad: A Bharatiya Janata Party worker on Thursday clicked a picture of himself inside a polling booth, while voting for Jasdan assembly election was underway. The man took a photo while pressing the button on the electronic voting machine and posted it on a Whatsapp group.

The man can be seen voting for BJP candidate Kunvarji Bavaliya. He posted the picture on a group named 'BJP Jasdan'.

The incident prompted the election officials to swing into action with Gujarat Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) S Murali Krishna asking the Returning Officer (RO) to file a report and said that action will be taken against erring officials as carrying electronic gadgets inside polling centers is prohibited.

The result for Jasdan, largely a rural constituency, will be announced on December 23.
